County’s finances ‘stable’ due to reserves in General Fund

The annual financial statement for Daviess County is

iling label printed in this edition as required by state law. The financial statement is for 2017 and lists expenditures for public your paper. renew today! scrutiny.

As the new 2018 budget year begins, one noteworthy omission from services budgeted for the coming year involves a proposal from EagleView, a digital mapping company from Rochester, NY. County officials considered a proposal last November for a high definition 3D aerial photography mapping service which would be applied to tax assessment, utility service mapping, emergency response, law enforcement and other use. But the estimated $53,000 in expense over the first three years of operation was not included in the new budget for funding.

The following comments are presented by County Clerk Vicki J. Corwin, as budget officer for the county. Comments about information and estimates for the year 2017 are required by the County Budget Law (Sections 50.525 to 50.745, RSMo.). Her budget message provides the following insights. As the 2018 budget year begins, tax levies are as follows: General Revenue $0.1188, Senate Bill 40 $0.0793, and Senior Services $0.0496. The tax collections for 2017 increased by 8.64% as has the assessed values for the county, especially commercial assessment values. Sales tax for Daviess County is 6.225% (state 4.225%, county 2.0%) which generated $353,077.38, an increase of 5.47%. Department of Revenue submitted two sales tax disbursements in December due to initiation of a new

state tax system. There has not been a true pattern of increases in the sales tax amounts. Historically, there are upswings and downswings with the sales tax revenue. Use tax was also up by 12.29% but since the county was down 10% last year, the net result is nearly flat. In the General Fund, the 2017 revenues and expenses were in the surplus by $17,678.13. This year’s budget appropriated is a total of $1,208,885.30 for the General Revenue Fund. The surplus shows that the general fund can survive on its own but only with elected officials being frugal and doing more with less. This year the General Fund will continue several grant programs that require some dollar matching. The (continued on page 3)

Drug arrest made in traffic stop in Gallatin city limits Terry S. Husky, 38, Galmey, was arrested Jan. 31 after Trooper A. Martin observed Husky’s Trail Blazer in several lane violations as they were eastbound on Highway 6. Husky was stopped inside Gallatin city limits at 239th Street at approximately 8:20 p.m. Husky gave the trooper a false identity but was later identified correctly. The passenger in the car, Candice M. Manues, was found to be on parole for felony possession of a controlled substance, methamphetamine. Husky denied Trooper Martin consent to search the vehicle; however, officers initiated a probable cause search at 9:09 p.m., after Daviess County Deputy T. Miller’s canine, Alan, indicated positively for narcotics in the vehicle.

The officers located marijuana residue and a locked metal box in the vehicle. Canine Alan indicated positively for narcotics inside the box, which was found to contain a white substance believed to be methamphetamine, as well as paraphernalia. Husky was taken to the regional jail on a 24-hour hold. Husky was charged Feb. 1 with possession of controlled substance, D felony, as well as misdemeanors of unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia – prior drug offense, failure to drive on right half of roadway, no valid license and failure to maintain financial responsibility. Husky was arraigned before Judge Daren Adkins on Feb. 6, with bond yet to be set.

Sportsman’s Alliance sponsors free deer antler scoring The North Missouri Sportsman’s Alliance (NMSA) is sponsoring a free deer antler scoring day Feb. 17 at the Elks Lodge in Chillicothe. Antlers will be accepted from 9 a.m. to 12 noon for measurement. “We used to provide scoring whitetail deer antlers as part of our annual Outdoor Classic, but it’s been at least six years since scoring has been offered in Chillicothe,” said Steve Shoot, president of the NMSA. Scorers who are certified for Boone & Crockett (B&C), Pope & Young (P&Y) and Missouri Big Bucks (MBB) will be on hand to measure the antlers.

“Since it’s been so long since antlers have been scored in this area, the scorers may not be able to get all of them scored,” said Shoot. “We will be scoring through 4 p.m., but it does take time to accurately measure each antler.” The NMSA has been working with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) in preparation for the event. Members of the Chillicothe High School Hunting & Fishing Club will also be on hand to assist throughout the day. Shoot said the NMSA is planning on making the deer scoring day an annual event. “There are specific guidelines

to follow when you bring your antlers to be scored and also when you pick them up to take back home,” said Shoot. “You will be asked to provide some basic information on how the deer was taken, your name and address, and so on.” There will be a concession stand for those individuals wishing to stay until their deer has been scored. Coffee will be free throughout the day, while other liquid refreshments will be available for purchase. A chili lunch will be available. “It is important to bring your antlers in as early as you can,” added Shoot.

“They will be measured by the scorers in the order in which they arrive at the lodge. The only exception to this will be for those antlers which must be scored by those certified for Boone & Crockett and Pope & Young.” The Chillicothe Elks Lodge is located at 401 Harvester Road. For easy access to the lodge, take Highway 65 (Washington Street) to Ryan Lane and turn east. The lodge is located just one block east of the four-way stop at Ryan Lane and Brunswick Street. The entrance to the Elks Lodge where the scoring will take place is located on the south side of the building.

Fertilizer-colored glasses by Freida Marie Crump

Living the Golden Rule Long before I knew much about Hamilton, MO, I knew about JCPenney. The store, not the man. My acquaintance came as a boy enduring the occasional shopping trips to the city my mother forced upon me. At the Blue Ridge Mall, as I recall, JCPenney was one of the anchor stores at one end of the thoroughfare. If it had discount racks, I’m sure we bought stuff there. This was the 1960s. JCPenney was on the grow. Nowadays the national retail chain makes more headlines for closing stores as the department store industry sags. Still, there are more than 800 JCPenney stores doing business. JCPenney is still a destination of choice for many. I suppose that’s why I forked over the money to the University of Oklahoma Press to purchase the new hardback book entitled “J.C. Penney, The Man, The Store, And American Agriculture.” It’s a biography. I’m not through reading it, and it’s a good change of pace from the steady diet of murder mysteries I’ve been reading during these cold winter nights. Book author Delbert Kruger explores how the company, its stores, and their famous founder shaped rural America through the 20th Century. The company, which Penney started in 1902, served the needs of farmers and small-town folks despite the growth of cities which elevated the Penney chain to nationwide acclaim. Kruger reviews Penney’s life in three parts. The first, naturally, spans the time of his birth in Hamilton until the financial and medical setbacks he faced at the outset of the Great Depression. From the beginning Mr. Penney took the Golden Rule philosophy to heart, and his interest went far beyond retail stores. He provided profit-sharing opportunities and agribusiness partnerships with tenant farmers and farm workers. Kruger writes “it gave him (Penney) great satisfaction” when those he partnered in some of the most risky ag ventures became so successful that during the 1960s they bought their entire agricultural operation from Penny outright. Mr. Penney also applied the same philosophy to his retail business. He developed stock clerks into store managers. As Kruger notes, many store managers into wealthy men. He cared about people. Here’s how Kruger puts it:

“If Penney’s true agrarian character belied the costume of a wealthy metropolitan capitalist, it did so largely by his lifelong adherence to the Golden Rule and his personal devotion to tiny agrarian communities like Hamilton, Missouri, the farm town where he was born and raised. From birth to death, Penney never lost his core identity as a poor Midwestern farm boy. He made countless return trips from New York City to the Missouri fields -- often eating midday at McDonald Tea Room in Gallatin -- confirming a deep affinity with rural American that largely shaped his company and his stores.”

O the E itor s S ike

by Darryl Wilkinson

The second part of the book focuses on Mr. Penney’s shift toward establishing model farms and rural communities in Florida, New York and Missouri. When these utopia ventures failed during the 1930s, Penney pivoted away from small-scale social engineering to the more practical and widespread benefits derived from livestock breeding. Penney Farms were not organized as rural charity for the impoverished. On page 65 Kruger quotes from an article published in the Florida Farmer, as Mr. Penney explains: “Those who fall short of the requirements cannot buy land from us at any price... The men whom we choose to make their homes in this community must have previously proven themselves to be industrious, thrifty, sober, God-fearing and home-loving men. Men who drink are barred, as are those who smoke cigarettes. We prefer American families, but neither race nor religion is a bar.” Most of the book, however, describes the third phase of Mr. Penney’s career and his interest in livestock breeding. We do well to remember how Mr. Penney gave 770 acres and 250 head of his best Guernsey dairy cows to the University of Missouri. While the herd barely outlived Penney — it was dispersed in 1972 a year after Penney’s death — the gift testifies to Mr. Penney’s commitment to give back to the rural community. Thus, the cover jacket of the book I purchased shows Mr. Pen-

ney with a Guernsey. It’s a warning. If you pick up a copy expecting to read about JCPenney’s shifting retail strategies to rival such retail giants as Sears, Roebuck or, later, Walmart — you’re going to be disappointed. Perhaps this disappointment is appropriate, too. Nothing in the marketplace is guaranteed. You can get a rundown on the current status of JCPenney stores from various sources. Mr. Penney’s first store was in Kemmerer, WY, in 1902. Eventually, his company opened its 500th store in 1924 in Hamilton, MO. In 1928 the chain opened its 1,000th store (grossing the equivalent of $2.71 billion in today’s dollars). In 1961 the company dedicated its first full-line, shopping center store in New Jersey. JCPenney issued its first catalog in 1963. That year, the company’s revenues reached $5 billion (equivalent to $30.2 billion in 2018) for the first time and catalog business made a profit for the first time. On Feb. 12, 1971, James Cash Penney died at the age of 95. But the foundation he built for success continued strong. JCPenney reached its peak number of stores in 1973, with 2,053 stores, 300 of which were full-line establishments. However, the company was hard hit by the 1974 recession with its stock price declining by two-thirds. Today, at least one source says there are 875 JCPenney stores doing business, competing against nimble niche retailers and rival competitors which continue on the attack. So, how can we convey the significance of Mr. Penney’s 95 years of life to future next generations? Millennials already strain to understand what once made Mr. J.C. Penney such a household name — that Life magazine covered his 80th birthday like a national event, or how Edward R. Murrow interviewed him for the wildly popular Person to Person television program. Such measures of prominence must seem quaint to those who only know today’s digital world. Books explain such things, of course, particularly good ones like this one I’m now reading by Mr. Kruger. After all, the most significant insight into J.C. Penney sprang from a book — the Good Book. The most important thing to learn from reading about J.C. Penney is simply pondering, understanding, and then striving to live the Golden Rule. As he did.

Greetings from Poosey. We are the products of our upbringing. You can’t deny that. Much of who we are has been determined by the places where we grew up and the people and things we’ve experienced. Sometimes we can change an attitude or two but most of our affinities and dislikes are deeply engrained within us. For example, I was born on a farm. Okay, it wasn’t exactly a farm, but we were farmers. Our house was about 20 yards out of town and our farms were some 15 or so miles distant. I can’t remember for sure. I just know that if you’re driving a two-cylinder John Deere 50 with a top speed of seven miles an hour, the distance to your farm seems eternal. Babies can be born in that length of time and the ladies weren’t pregnant when you began your trip. So, I call myself a farm girl since the farm was where I spent my formative years, and looking back I can see that many of the attitudes and perhaps even prejudices I possess are a result of growing up surrounded by tall corn and Angus cattle. Whenever I hear the various terms for types of atypical eating I get confused. Vegetarian: usually avoiding meat and fish, but can swallow an egg. Lacto-vegetarians eat dairy products but not eggs, Flexitarian/Semi-Vegetarians eat meat occasionally, a Pescatarian (not to be confused with Presbyterian) abstains from eating meat but fish is okay, a Vegan won’t eat meat, eggs, dairy products, or processed foods containing these or other animal products (like Jell-O). A Raw Vegan will eat non-processed vegan foods that have not been heated above 115 degrees, and a Macrobiotic is simply too hard to describe but it involves a good deal of seaweed. Okay, at this point you probably think that I’m going to poke fun at these diets. Nope. I just can’t relate to them. If you have one cute little Hampshire pig, he’s a pet. When your daddy has 700 hogs in his confinement sheds, they become a commodity ...the thing that puts food on your table and sends your kids to college. And feel free to disagree with me on this one. Just blame it on my farm upbringing. Another prejudice that I think I hold onto is the definition of work. I was raised to think that work meant you had to get hot and dirty, lift heavy things, endure long hours, wear overalls, and smell a bit like manure. Any other sort of occupation wasn’t really what you’d call work ...more of a paid pastime. Of course, it’s a bit ironic that ever since I’ve left the farm I’ve done everything in my power to get out of jobs that get me hot and dirty, make me lift heavy things for long hours, and require me to wear overalls without smelling badly. Still, in the back of my mind, if I’m not sweating then I’m not really working. The smartest people seem to talk the least. Perhaps this isn’t an observation reserved only for farming, but some of the most successful farmers I’ve known were the guys who didn’t talk much about it. They just did it and let their work speak for itself. God made the sun so we could see what we’re doing. When it comes up you go to work and when it goes down you quit. Otherwise you bump into things. The only good time to take a shower or a bath is at night. If not the dirt and dust and pollen of the day end up on your bed sheets. You don’t work on the Sabbath. This prohibition isn’t so much a result of religious conviction as the fact that you’re simply tired of working the other six days. There’s always a catch. If you’re a farmer then dealing with the government is part and parcel of your job whether you’re talking about commodity prices, taxes, or incentive programs. And if the farmer has farmed for very long then he or she knows that whenever the government says it’s going to help you there’s got to be a catch. Maybe I’d have turned out differently if my father had been an accountant or a corporate lawyer or a circus clown. As it is, I’m stuck with looking at life through fertilizer-colored glasses and at the moment it seems we could use a bit of straightening out. Perhaps those running our world would be a bit saner and less self-centered if they’d spent more time bucking hay bales and scooping out a few loads of manure. You ever ‘round Poosey, stop by. We may not answer the door but you’ll enjoy the trip.

‘Thank a Farmer Week’ celebrates ag Where would we be without farmers? Those hard working individuals that care for the land and animals, and provide us with food, clothing, entertainment, medicine, shelter, transportation and much more! Missouri Farm Bureau and County Farm Bureau’s across the state are joining forces to celebrate the importance of agriculture, Feb. 4-10, during “Celebrate Agriculture: Thank a Farmer Week!” America’s farms and farmers are the most productive in the world. Each farm annually produces enough food and fiber for 165 people — 106 in the U.S. and 59 abroad. American consumers benefit from this bounty, and the many choices it offers, while spending less than 10% of their disposable income on food. With a projected growth in global population by 2050, farmers around the world will have to grow 70% more food than is now produced. Farm and ranch families account for less than 2% of the U.S. population. Across the United States, there are 2.1 million farms with 3.2 million farm operators. This number includes owners, their families, hired workers, ten-

ants and renters or sharecroppers. Many farms today find multiple generations working together to produce food and fiber. A 2016 study commissioned by the Missouri Department of Agriculture and Missouri Farm Bureau found agriculture remains the top industry in our state with a contribution of some $88.4 billion to the economy. The study revealed that in 2016, agriculture provided 378,000 jobs, $2.2 billion in state/ local taxes and $17.5 billion in labor income. This information drives home the importance of agriculture. The labors of agriculture impact our lives each day. In addition to food, agriculture provides clothing, fuel, medicine, entertainment, sports equipment, personal care products, school supplies and the list goes on. So, join Farm Bureau as we celebrate agriculture and Thank a Farmer. “Agriculture is important to our daily lives and our community. Because 98% of the population doesn’t farm, it is easy to take for granted the importance of our farmers,” Keith Sutton, county president says. “Celebrate Agriculture: Thank a Farmer Week is a great time to recognize the important contribution made by farmers!”

You insult my intelligence, Rep. Sam Graves. You sent me an online survey via email but are not allowing it to give you valid constituent feedback. For the question, “Do you believe restricting access to guns for law-abiding citizens will prevent gun violence?” the choices are yes, no or unsure. This is called a loaded question. You are talking only about “law-abiding citizens,” but they are not the problem among gun owners. You are free to interpret the responses any way you want, and then to use this new “data” as hard facts to show what your constituents support.

And the last question, “Do you support securing our south border and efforts to build a wall?” is actually two questions. How to answer? I support securing our southern border, but I do not want a wall. I do want border security. And I want a path to citizenship for Dreamers. Your feedback will be tainted, and you will eat it all up, thinking how good and accurate you are in representing the people. Simplify your questions and get valid responses. Your actions, taken with this survey as “facts,” are misdirected and flat-out bad legislating. Robert “Bo” Steed, Gallatin

the flooring in the offices for assessor, prosecuting attorney and county clerk’s office, and also any minor updating in regards to the general repairs and maintenance of the building. Last summer due to the heavy rains the road and bridge crew had to repair so many areas of the county due to heavy flooding and wash outs that projects originally slated for completion in 2017 must now be completed. There are currently two bridges in the county that are scheduled to be completed this year. These two bridges are close in proximity and, to save money, were bid out both separately and together. The bids to complete both projects was a win for the county as the award was cheaper to do the bridges together. The Bridge Replacement Off-System (BRO) program is being used to fund these bridges with an 80/20 match from MoDOT. Law enforcement, with its multiple sources of revenue, still requests general revenue funding for insurance, vehicle leases, 911 dispatch fees, and half of the salary of a bailiff. The Sheriff has other, smaller funds to subsidize department needs but not for vehicle purchases and insurance. Last year the courthouse completed a wiring project that brought fiber optics to the majority of offices for high speed

internet and a telephone system for all offices except the Sheriff ’s Office (due to recordings of the 911-Central Dispatch incoming phone calls). In other funds, the Care Center Fund was depleted when a new roof for the nursing home used all available monies to complete this project. Fund balances will be built back up for future major structural expenditures. The Jackson Township Fund was also depleted as Quick Avenue (the road that leads to Landmark Manufacturing) was resurfaced this last summer. There is an agreement with Landmark, Jackson Township and the county in regards to revenues that are placed annually into that fund. Last year there was no Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for full-time employees and elected officials. This year county commissioners have decided to give all non-elected hourly staff an increase of a $1 per hour. In conclusion, Clerk Corwin writes: “It is the intent of the commissioners and of all officeholders, to monitor finances regularly to keep a balanced budget. This requires all of us working together to try to provide needed services while staying in budget. However, overall, the county remains in stable condition, largely due to the reserves in the general fund.”

Hi folks! We finished January with 0.80 inches with the last measurable precipitation coming on January 23. Currently all 114 Missouri counties are registering on the drought monitor at one level or another. Normal precipitation for January in Daviess County is 1.22 inches. Here are a few FSA topics and reminders for you this month: We are coming up on Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) management timeframes for burning or spraying of cool season grasses. Almost all current CRP contracts are required to have Mid Contract Management completed in years 3-6 of the contract. You should have been contacted within the last month if you need to complete your Mid Contract Management in 2018. If you are not sure if you have completed your Mid Contract Management, please contact the office. The three options for Mid Contract Management are fire burn, light strip disking, or chemical spraying. If your contract is cool season grasses (CP1) you can burn or spray from March 15-April 30. Fire burning removes heavy thatch and encourages the growth of wildflowers, legumes and seed-producing plants. An application of chemical should temporarily set back the growth of grass species to allow for the growth of forbs and legumes to increase the stand’s diversity. Chemical rates should conform to the label recommendations for “suppression.” This is also a good time to address any woody species or noxious weeds if they are present in your CRP. Light disking can be done on either warm or cool season grass contracts now through March 31. A note from our sister agency: The Daviess County Soil & Water (SWCD) annual state cost-share sign up began Feb. 1. Applications will be taken through the month of February for fiscal year 2019 which runs from July, 1, 2018-June 30, 2019.

Some of the practices include, but are not limited to, pasture seeding, terrace and tile systems, sod waterways, diversions, cover crops, structures, spring developments, and grazing systems. All landowners or operators will need a current landowner authorization form, which establishes land ownership, filled out before or at the time of applying. Forms are available at the SWCD Office. Office hours are MondayThursday 7:30-4:30 and Friday 7:30-4:00. For questions call the office at 660-663-3703, ext. 3. Landowners, if your farm is having a change in operators for the 2018 crop year, please let us know soon after the change so we can update your records. Operators, if you are changing farms or how you are going to operate this year, please let us know. This includes bank account changes, creating an entity or making changes to an existing one, purchasing or selling ground, renting new farms, etc. Final reminder: We are working away on 2018 Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) & Price Loss Coverage (PLC) contracts. The choice between ARC or PLC is a one-time choice you made in 2015, but you have to sign a contract every year for the life of this Farm Bill in order to participate. If you have some free time, stop by and we’ll get those done. That’s all folks! If you have any questions about anything in this newsletter or any of our programs in general, don’t hesitate to give us a call or stop on by. Mandi Bird, County Executive Director

File your income tax return early Now that the Internal Revenue Service is accepting 2017 tax returns, filing early is a good idea, says University of Missouri Extension personal finance specialist Andrew Zumwalt. Missourians receive an average income tax refund of $2,612, according to IRS data. That is money that you’re not receiving interest on, says Zumwalt, so file early, claim it and put it to good use. When money is direct-deposited into your bank account, it can arrive in as little as seven days. Early filers can get a head start on saving and paying down debt. The sooner you pay down bills, the more you will save on interest charges. Money in hand or in an emergency fund can save you from going further in debt, Zumwalt says.

by Tim Baker, regional horticulturist The proper soil for your plant will provide the best conditions for good root growth and nutrient uptake. On the other hand, poorly mixed soils will give you less than satisfactory results, with shortlived plants. To select the proper soil for your plants, you need to think about the plant’s requirements and your own plant care habits. The plant’s requirements are dictated by where the plant is found in nature. If you are not sure of your plant’s preferences, pick up a copy of Guide Sheet G6510, “Caring for House Plants,” from your local MU Extension center. This reference lists many common houseplants and their soil requirements. Your own plant care habits can also influence potting soil selection. Do you tend to overwater? You may want to use materials in your soil which improve drainage. If your plants dry out too fast, you should add ingredients such as sphagnum peat moss or other organic materials to increase water retention. If you have only a few plants, you may choose to buy a readymade mix. This saves time and work. If you have a plant with special soil requirements, you may start with a commercial mix, and modify it to suit your needs. If

you have a lot of plants, you may choose to make your potting soil from scratch. This will save you money, and will give you exactly what your plants require. Often the basic starting ingredient is garden loam or topsoil. Loam soils are classified between sandy soils and clay soils. Since most soils are not pure loams, they are usually classified as sandy loams, silty loams, silty clay loams, or clay loams. Knowing how much sand or clay is in your basic mix will help fine tune your final potting soil. So where do you start? A good basic mix for most houseplants will have equal portions of garden loam, sphagnum peat moss, and clean sharp builder’s sand. Be sure that the sand is not too fine. Coarse sands provide better drainage. If you can’t find good coarse sand, perlite may be substituted. A third choice would be vermiculite, if neither builder’s sand nor perlite can be found. What about compost? This can be an excellent material to add to your potting mix. Be sure that it is well-composted, and has heated up well during the composting process to provide pasteurizing protection. Leaf compost is especially good, providing a good source of organic matter. Use it alone or in combination with sphagnum peat moss.

Four Kansans arrested by Patrol after pursuit Four people from Kansas City, Kan., were arrested Feb. 4 in Daviess County for possession of a controlled substance and receiving stolen property, according to a probable cause statement from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Tpr. M. Neely noted in his report that at about 8:52 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 4, he attempted to conduct a traffic stop of a maroon 2008 Kia Sorento, traveling southbound on Interstate 35 in Daviess County. The Sorento was travelling 95 miles per hour in a 70 M.P.H. zone. The vehicle fled and a pursuit ensued southbound on I-35. Tire deflation devices were deployed by the Cameron Police Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol at the 54 mile marker and the vehicle became disabled a short time later. As Tpr. Neely approached the vehicle, he observed the driver, identified as Ida M. Lewis, 49, attempting to crawl from the driver’s seat to the rear passenger compartment of the vehicle. Lewis, and a front seat passenger, Nyisha M. Robinson, 38, and two passengers in the back seat, Nyia S. Robinson, 40, and Mack J. Robinson, 59, were removed from the vehicle and placed in handcuffs at 9:06 p.m. While at the vehicle, Trp. Neely observed numerous opened and unopened containers of alcoholic

beverages, numerous packages of tools, vacuums, thermostats, faucets and other household items inside the vehicle. Inside his patrol vehicle, Tpr. Neely observed Lewis’ eyes were glassy and bloodshot and he smelled a strong odor of an intoxicating beverage. Lewis provided a sample of her breath into a Preliminary Breath Test, which showed presumptive positive results and over .08. Trp. Neely read Lewis an implied consent and she agreed to submit to chemical testing. Computer checks showed Lewis’ Kansas driver’s license was revoked. All parties were transported to the Cameron Police Department for further investigation. Lewis was provided three attempts to give a breath sample; she failed to follow instructions on each test. She did not provide a complete sample. An inventory of the vehicle revealed the household items, several of which were still wrapped with security devices, were from Home Depot stores in Joliet, Ill., and West Des Moines, Iowa. Also located in the vehicle was a corner portion of a plastic bag which contained several white pills and several blue pills. The identity of the pills was unknown at the time, but they were believed to be controlled substances.

While processing Lewis, Tpr. Neely reports she became aggressive and argumentative. Lewis later began to increase her posture while clenching her fists. Trp. Neely escorted Lewis to a temporary holding cell and while walking, she pulled away from him and raised her right arm with her hand balled into a fist as if to strike him. Lewis was later secured in a holding cell. Due to the uncooperative and aggressive demeanor of all parties, none of the subjects were fingerprinted or photographed. The parties were later released to the custody of the Daviess DeKalb County Regional Jail. Ida Mae Lewis, Nyisha Robinson, Nyia Robinson, and Mack Robinson were all charged with possession of a controlled substance and receiving stolen property. Both are D Felonies. Lewis was also charged with resisting arrest, felony E; and the following misdemeanors — assault in the fourth degree, DWI - Prior; exceeding posted speed limit; failing to drive within right lane, failing to signal, owner operating motor vehicle without maintaining financial responsibility, operating vehicle on highway without a valid license, first offense, and failing to have two lighted headlamps.

Ezra “Fuzzy” Nichols 1932 - 2018

Ezra “Fuzzy” Nichols, Jr., 85, Columbia, passed away peacefully on Feb 1, 2018, at Columbia Manor with family by his side. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of HT May & Son Funeral Home. Fuzzy was born June 18, 1932, to Ezra Price Nichols and Katie (Caruthers) Nichols in Columbia. Raised in Columbia, he graduated from Hickman High School in 1950. He was drafted to serve the U.S. Army in Okinawa from 1952 - 1954. After returning, he married Sandy (Williams) Nichols in 1959 and raised four children. Fuzzy barbered for over three decades, where people came for a $5 haircut and to listen and laugh at stories. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and gardening with his brother Kenny. In 1986, Fuzzy met his loving girlfriend, Phyllis Willingham, with whom he spent the rest of his life. Fuzzy was proud of his children, Doug (Jackie) Nichols of Gallatin, David (Julie) Nichols, Dan (Joan) Nichols and Denise (Clark) Winslow, his nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren. He is also survived by brother Kenny Nichols, sister Marjorie Beaman and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Fuzzy was preceded in death by his parents, first wife Sandy (Nichols) Mazzocco; and brothers, Lewis 'Tubby' and Billy Nichols. Fuzzy was a loving, caring father and friend to all; he had a contagious smile and a great sense of humor. He will be missed by many. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to hospice through the Boone Hospital Foundation, in memory of Ezra Nichols, c/o 1600 E. Broadway, Columbia, MO 65201.

Gallatin varsity wrestlers hope one week of inactivity will give them the chance to shake the flu bug and prepare for this weekend’s Class 1, District 3 Tournament at Marceline High School. Sickness hit the Bulldog squad hard enough last week to force cancellation of Thursday’s home tri-meet with Stanberry and St. Joe Lafayette, and participation in last Saturday’s Richmond Tournament. Coaches even took the step of suspending practices in order to get wrestlers healthy. Friday and Saturday’s district tournament will feature 15 schools and at least 40 wrestlers currently ranked among the best in Missouri Class 1. Four teams, Marceline, Gallatin, Brookfield

and Richmond, are currently ranked in the top 10 in Class 1. Sophomore Ross Critten heads to Richmond looking for his second district title. Junior Grady Rains is already a two-time state qualifier, but is seeking his first district title after runner-up finishes two years in a row. Senior Rian Critten missed qualifying for state last season but made it into the state brackets in both 2015 and 2016. Sophomores Drayton Harris and Keegan Allen finished third and fourth, respectively, in last season’s district tournament. Senior Caleb Boyd and junior Tom Crouse each fell one victory short of qualifying for state last season.

The Tigers (15-8, 5-5 in SEC play through Sunday) churned out a first-half lead with strong defense, and then kept just ahead of the Wildcats (17-6, 6-4 in SEC) the entire second half, earning Missouri’s first win in 11 tries against the behemoth Kentucky program. Kentucky did trim the game to 33-32 early in the second half, but Missouri responded with a lightning-quick 8-0 run that put a jolt into an already lively crowd. ( continued on Page 16 )

When you put someone like NCAA basketball coaching legend Bob Knight in your rear view mirror, you know you’ve accomplished something. William Jewell College Men’s Head Basketball Coach Larry Holley recently won his 903rd game as a college coach, moving him ahead of Knight and into sole possession of ninth place on the all-time men’s list. Holley, now in his 39th season at William Jewell College, moved ahead of Knight when the Cardinals defeated Missouri S&T, 91-72, last Thursday in Liberty. Holley is a 1967 graduate of William Jewell and a Jameson High School graduate who became Jameson’s first-ever, all-state first team selection as a senior. Holley led the Huskies to a 33-1 record and third place finish in Missouri Class S in 1963.

Boys win, girls lose in GRC inter-division play Gallatin girls and boys found themselves miles apart Friday night and on opposite sides of the win-loss column after annual crossover play between the Grand River Conference’s two divisions. Gallatin’s girls finished second in the GRC East Division but could not come through Friday night in the league’s “crossover” game pitting them against the second place finishers in the West Division. The Lady Bulldogs experienced one of their roughest shooting nights, particularly from the three-point arc, which played a big role in a 47-36 loss to North Andrew. Gallatin fell behind early thanks to a slow start but took a 16-10 lead in the second quarter with an 8-0 run fueled by buckets from Karley Salmon, Courtney Shubert and Kelsey Maxwell. The Lady Cardinals scored the next 14 points while the Lady Bulldogs missed eight straight shots on possessions extending into the third period. Salmon cut a double digit deficit back to seven points with a

Rare 3-way organ trade extends lives, improves quality for three people E ditor ’ s N ote: S tate R ep . J . E ggl es ton under w ent s ur ger y and donated a k idney f or h is w if e on J an. 17 , as r ep or ted in th e J an. 2 4 , 2 0 18 is s ue of th e G al l atin N or th M is s our ian.

By S tate R ep . J . E ggleston As many of you know by now, I recently underwent a surgery. My wife had been suffering from kidney disease for a few years. I wanted to donate one of my kidneys to her, but we were not a compatible match. Doctors then told us about a program where other incompatible couples like us can share kidneys to save our loved ones. We volunteered to be part of the program, and a few weeks ago we were informed that the program had found a three-way match for us. On January 17, my left kidney was removed, put on ice, whisked to a plane at KCI, and flown to Michigan. At the same time, two donors in Michigan – one in Ann Arbor and one in Detroit – had their kidneys removed. Later that afternoon, my kidney was transplanted into a recipient in Ann Arbor, the Ann Arbor donor’s kidney was put into someone in Detroit, and the Detroit donor’s kidney was flown to KC and transplanted into Cathie. Through this complicated and highly coordinated three-way organ trade, three people’s lives were extended and their quality of life greatly improved. Through this experience, Cathie and I have learned several things. First, we learned that each year in America there are about 18,000 kidney transplants performed. Unfortunately, there are over 100,000 people on the waiting list for a kidney who are on dialysis, and some do not live long

BSU reaches college students Insights about how the Baptist Student Union (BSU) reaches out to students enrolled at North Central Missouri College (NCMC) at Trenton were presented during Sunday worship services at First Baptist Gallatin by BSU Director Christina Boatright. The young, energetic director says the BSU reaches approximately 10% of the college enrollment. Students from all walks of life attend programs and functions intended to build loyalty to Christian faith, leaders in proclaiming the gospel, and to introduce Jesus Christ to the unknowing. “Our BSU offers a free luncheon to all students every Wednesday, and that definitely is very popular – especially the crock pot pizza from First Baptist Gallatin that’s become such a favorite,” says Ms. Boatright. “But the free meals are just a means toward focusing on Christ.” Meetings for students committed to following Jesus Christ are held every Tuesday evening at the BSU. Then meals and other

activities help provide a safe and secure place for students of all faiths, from atheists to various faiths held by international students, to discuss the gospel. Other programs include regularly scheduled Bible study, Sunday Night Alive activities, and summer missions to locations in Missouri as well as short-term international mission trips scheduled throughout the world. At graduation time at the end of each academic year, the BSU programs climax and usually attract as many as 50 students regularly. Ceremonies in the past have involved two pastors and even NCMC administrators. “We want to reach out so that more come to know Jesus Christ as well as to encourage Christian students to go beyond a shallow belief.” The Baptist Student Union, housed in an attractive brick building known as the Mission Center on the NCMC campus, is supported by 18 area churches organized through the North Grand River Baptist Association.

J . E ggl es ton w ith h is w if e C ath ie af ter th e s ur ger y . enough for their turn on the list to arrive. Therefore, there is a great need for more people to be organ donors. Second, we learned that the wait list for a kidney in the Midwest is 2-3 years, whereas the wait list on the east and west coasts is 5-6 years. Our doctors tell us that is because people in the Midwest tend to be more generous when it comes to organ donation. Third, we learned that when someone undergoes a kidney transplant, they do not usually have a kidney removed, just an extra one implanted. So now I have one kidney and Cathie has three. Most recipients’ existing kidneys still work a small amount and it would risk extra complications to remove one. In fact, there are some people whose new kidneys eventually wear out, they undergo another transplant, and have four kidneys. But the most important thing we learned was how kind and generous people can be. Once word got out about our ordeal, we received countless messages through texts and cards and phone calls and Facebook posts wishing us well and offering to help. The prayers and well-wishes

from our friends, my constituents, fellow legislators, and even total strangers were humbling and overwhelming, and without doubt buoyed our spirits during our hospital stay and time of recovery. Cathie and I are eternally grateful for everyone’s support. At this point, we are both recovering according to plan, and we are told the Michigan recipients are doing well also. Cathie and I have been cleared to return home, and she is showing no signs of organ rejection or complications. While I am still a little sore, I have returned to the capitol to continue my duties of serving my constituents in Jefferson City. The doctors tell us that in a few weeks we will be fully healed and cleared for all activities of a normal life. In closing, I would encourage everyone to consider registering as an organ donor. You can do so at the DMV when you renew your driver’s license, or by filling out the donor info on the back of your current driver’s license. In doing so, your last act of your life may be to save the life of someone else, and that’s pretty cool. Please give it some thought.

We traveled a thousand miles to attend a funeral of a family member. We had not even unpacked when we received word of the death of another family member. We were told, “Don't come. You were just here. It is a long trip.” Good, caring advice; but still, we went — another thousand miles. It is family; it's what you do. Neither death was unexpected; two fine ladies aged and long ill. Despite the trauma of the trips, or maybe because of it, we were blessed. Not only did we worship together, we also gathered for food and fellowship. We met family members we hardly knew, and some we had never met. Our relationship with them was enriched; and hopefully they were blessed as well. I think the two deceased ladies would be pleased. They were both giving and forgiving individuals who helped and blessed others all their lives. If they are aware of the family gatherings initiated by their deaths, they are surely happy that the families enjoyed one another and were blessed. These were Christian ladies; and though we will ro Wa aris miss them, there was comfort that, “They are no longer suffering and have gone to be with the Lord.” Family gatherings at funerals are a mixed blessing. There is sadness because a loved one is gone from earth; but there is joy in the communion of family and friends. It is sad that we often see each other only at funerals; but families get separated making togetherness difficult. I think if my family gets together after my funeral and enjoys one another, I will be blessed. After Jesus' death, the disciples gathered together. Their first meetings apparently were not joyful. Their leader, their Lord, was gone—gone in the prime of life, gone just as His ministry began. We can assume their first meeting addressed the issue of “what now?” Are we wanted men? Will they come for us? If they do, how should we respond? If they don't come for us, what should we do — just go back to our old ways? Subsequent meetings of the disciples were different. Jesus was alive! His resurrection changed everything. “Carry on,” Jesus instructed. “Feed my sheep. Tell the world about my eternal life.” Thus 2,000 years later, families like ours gather at funerals and rejoice “he/she is alive in heaven with the Lord.” Amen.

Deaths

C ontinued f r om

dy attended the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion (MOT) in Mt. Pleasant. He became a volunteer for MOT, working on the electricity and wiring and doing the necessary carpentry of the campground at MOT. Buddy’s parents preceded him in death. Survivors include his wife, Linda, Mt. Pleasant; his children, Jenna Olcott and husband Frank, Lawson, Courtney Story and husband Austin, Altamont, James Fowler and wife Jamie, Stewartsville, Misty Burns, Mt. Pleasant, Michael Dovenspike, Mt. Pleasant; and 12 grandchildren with a 13th on the way. In lieu of flowers, direct memorials may be made to Midwest Old Threshers (for campground use) and the Buddy Fowler Memorial Fund for medical expenses. N ona E thel ( Beason) H arrington 1 9 3 1 -2 0 1 8 Nona Ethel (Beason) Harrington, 86, Warsaw, died Feb. 2, 2018, at her home. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Feb. 9 at the Church of Christ in Jamesport under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home, Jamesport. Burial will follow in Clear Creek Cemetery, Jamesport. The family will receive friends from 1-2 p.m. Friday at the church. Nona was born on Nov. 24, 1931, the daughter of Noel and Nellie (Ware) Beason in Daviess County, near the old Clear Creek School. Nona married Nevin Harrington on April 21, 1951, in Hamilton. She attended college for

one year at Northwest Missouri State University as in those days you could teach with just one year of college. She taught at Prairie Center Country School for the 1950-1951 school year. In 1976, Nona received her bachelor’s degree from Northwest Missouri State University, her master’s degree from the University of Missouri in 1989, and her Specialist Degree in 1995 from Southwest Missouri State University. Nona taught at Chillicothe, Hamilton, Ashland, South Callaway, and retired from Camdenton School District as technology coordinator in 2003. Nona came out of retirement to be the postmaster at Cross Timbers until just a few years ago. Through the years, the family moved many times for job opportunities. With each move, finding a church home was a top priority. In 1993, Nevin and Nona purchased their farm in Cross Timbers. Nona was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Nevin; half-sister, Ellouise Richardson; half-brother, Carl Beason; sons, Michael and Keith Harrington; brothers-in-law, Ralph, Marvin, Lowell, and Wendall Harrington; and sisters-in-law, Harriet Utter, Naomi Rees, Marguerite Maharg, Mytle Qualls, and Letha Mae Baxter. Nona is survived by her daughters, Janice (Mike) Stevenson, Jeri Jo (Jerry) Smith, all of Warsaw; son, Andy Harrington, Lee’s Summit; 12 grandchildren; and 12 great grandchildren. Memorial contributions may be made to Clear Creek Cemetery in care of Roberson Funeral Home, 503 S. Broadway, Jamesport, MO 64648.

Go Red for Women serves 56 lunches

The Daviess County Health Department held its third annual Go Red for Women luncheon on Feb. 2. The staff appreciated the community support that made this year’s event another great success. They served a total of 56 lunches. Winners of the drawings were Shelly Jumps, Tisha Perkins, Cheryl Bonderer, LaRay Lloyd, Betty Peters and Kathy Gatton. Each participant also received heart healthy information packets.

Dr. Bryan Copple, Gallatin R-5 superintendent, received a check from Phil STate for $237 to help continue local Bright Futures Gallatin efforts. Mr. Tate recently won Gallatin Rotary Club’s member drawing and designated the money be donated to the Bright Futures Gallatin fund. Bright Futures is a grassroots organization that enables schools to engage businesses, human service agencies, faithbased organizations and parent groups to rally together to meet the needs of their children. This framework partners organizations with schools in a way that helps them to quickly and efficiently meet students’ basic needs, often within 24 hours. Since beginning in the fall, student needs met include: toiletry items, Christmas food and gifts, shoes, an instrument for band, socks, underwear, coats, hats, and gloves.

Driver exam stations closed Feb. 12 & 19

The Missouri State Highway Patrol would like to remind the public that driver examination stations throughout the state will be closed on the following dates: Monday, Feb. 12, 2018, in observance of Lincoln’s Birthday. Normal operations will resume on Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2018. Monday, Feb. 19, 2018, in observance of Washington’s Birthday. Normal operations will resume on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2018. The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.”

MU Basketball ( continued f r om

p age 9 )

By the time the clock finally hit zero, the team and the arena celebrated. The hopes of a fine season and an NCAA Tournament berth were back on. After a three-game losing streak, the Tigers picked up a huge win at Alabama on Wednesday, and then the victory over Kentucky Saturday. That’s a pretty outstanding week for building the Tigers’ case for inclusion in the Big Dance. After plenty of struggles at the point guard position this year, including losing some of them, the Tigers shook things up last week, starting shooting guard Kassius Robertson at the point. That puts an extra burden on one of the Tigers best scorers, but Robertson is a smooth player who seems capable at the point. Former starting point guard Jordan Geist has given the Tigers good minutes off the bench, especially against Alabama. It was truly a team effort against Kentucky. Robertson and Barnett, the offense’s usual suspects, each scored 16. Jontay Porter had 13 points and 8 rebounds off the bench. Kevin Puryear was the early spark to get things going. Jeremiah Tilmon and Reed Nikko also battled hard inside against Kentucky’s tall and talented forwards. The defense shone. In an impressive development, Cullen VanLeer helped keep Kentucky’s future NBA player Kevin Knox from doing much on offense. There were still ominous signs, as Missouri’s 20 turnovers come to mind, but it was a feelgood win. The schedule seems to get a little easier for a stretch now, and Missouri needs to pour it on. But if this bizarre SEC season, where Auburn is coming out of nowhere to probably win the league title and seemingly any team can beat any other team on a given night, it’s tough to read too much into the twists and turns of the 18-game SEC schedule. But in any event, the opportunities are there. On Saturday Missouri hosts Mississippi State (1 p.m. on ESPN2). The Tigers lost a thoroughly maddening game at Mississippi State on Jan. 27. Missouri is playing better now, but the Bulldogs (17-6, 5-5 in SEC) have won three straight heading into this week. Ben Howland can coach, and Missouri has a fresh memory that Quinndary Weatherspoon can ball. At home, Missouri should win this one, but in this season’s wild SEC, most games are up for grabs.

KALI:

A Polar Bear’s Tale

AUTHOR: CAROLYN MUELLER | ILLUSTRATOR: JEREMY PATTON & JAYNE BALLEW

Chapter Five: A few days later, Kali was put on a plane for the second time in his short life. He was headed for the Alaska Zoo. When Kali arrived at the Alaska Zoo he was greeted by zookeepers, who knew just what a baby polar bear needed. The keepers created a space for Kali, complete with a big, fluffy pile of straw where he could stay cozy and warm, and a box full of toys and blankets so that he would have something to play with in his new home. The keepers fell in love with the bright-eyed baby, but they knew Kali would not be staying forever. The Alaska Zoo already had two full grown polar bears living there, and did not have enough room for a third. Still, they all looked forward to the task of raising the cub for a little while and felt lucky to play an important role in Kali’s life. Raising a baby polar bear means much more than getting him to eat. The keeper team at the Alaska Zoo would become Kali’s surrogate mothers. They not only had to provide food for him every few hours, but they also had to be sure he was getting enough water, gaining enough weight, and learning the “bear” necessities. Like any young animal, Kali learned through play. The keepers would take Kali out into his snowy yard and give him balls or stuffed toys. They gave him a big tub of water so that he could learn how to swim. Boxes were placed to encourage him to climb in and out of things, building strength in his legs. With so much play time, Kali took lots of naps. Solid foods like salmon and bear chow, a kibble made specifically for bears, were added to his diet. He grew bigger, stronger, and more confident

every day. The keepers treasured their play sessions with the cub but knew it could not last forever. Soon, Kali would be too big and powerful to share a space with people. And there’s only so much a polar bear cub can learn from humans. It is best to learn how to be a polar bear from another polar bear. Three months after his arrival at the Alaska Zoo, Kali prepared for another journey. This time, he’d go even farther from his original home in the village of Point Lay.

Ask Zoo Keeper Julie How fast are polar bears? They can swim at speeds up to 6 mph and run up to 25 mph.

Fun Fact: The polar bear was the mascot for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada.

Newspaper Connections There are many stories about Kali in newspapers and from television stations across the country. Research, then read and watch several of each and answer the following questions. What are the key similarities and differences between print and television journalism? Does either have an apparent advantage or disadvantage when giving the news?
